Our Photography Competition is open for entries

If you are a budding photographer or someone looking to showcase your work, we want to hear from you

Do you have an eye for beauty, detail or lining up the perfect shot?

Whether you enjoy photographing people, nature, animals or simply capturing a moment of exquisite beauty, we want to see your work. Irish Country Magazine’s new Photography Competition showcases the talent of new and practicing photographers while simultaneously celebrating the everyday and extraordinary scenes of life in Ireland.

How to enter:

Like our Short Story competition, there will be a different theme for each issue which you may interpret as you see fit, so please be as creative as you like. Send your image to us via the form below by 5.30pm on 7 September* to be in with a chance of winning.

The competition is open to all ages and the winner will receive a year-long subscription to Irish Country Magazine and have their work featured in the latest print issue while the top five images will appear on irishcountrymagazine.ie.

The theme for the next issue is Strength and will appear in the November 2026 issue of Irish Country Magazine, out in August. Other remarkable entries will feature on our social media accounts, in celebration of your creativity.
